This is the hilarious & inspiring story of how Jane Lynch changed from a real-life Sue Sylvester to the happy & fulfilled actress she is today. In 1974, a fourteen-year-old girl in Dolton, Illinois, had a dream. A dream to become an actress, like her idols Ron Howard & Vicki Lawrence. But it was a long way from the South Side of Chicago to Hollywood, & it didn?t help that she?d recently dropped out of the school play, The Ugly Duckling. But the funny thing is, it all came true. Through a series of happy accidents, Jane Lynch created an improbable ? & hilarious ? path to success. In those early years, despite her dreams, she was also consumed with anxiety, feeling out of place in both her body & her family. To deal with her worries about her sexuality, she escaped in positive ways ? such as joining a high school chorus not unlike the one in Glee ? but also found destructive outlets. She started drinking almost every night her freshman year of high school & developed a mean & judgmental streak that turned her into someone similar to her on-screen nemesis, Sue Sylvester. Then, at thirty-one, she started to get her life together. She was finally able to embrace her sexuality, come out to her parents, & quit drinking for good. Soon after, a Frosted Flakes commercial & a chance meeting in a coffee shop led to a role in the Christopher Guest movie Best in Show, which helped her get cast in The 40-Year-Old Virgin. Similar coincidences led to roles in movies starring Will Ferrell, Paul Rudd, & even Meryl Streep in 2009s Julie & Julia. Then, of course, came the two lucky accidents that truly changed her life. Getting lost in a hotel led to an introduction to her future wife, Lara. Then, a series she?d signed up for was abruptly cancelled, making it possible for her to take the role of Sue Sylvester in Glee, which made her a megastar. Today, Jane Lynch has finally found the contentment she thought she?d never have. Part comic memoir & a story of real-life luck, this is a book equally for the rabid Glee fan & for anyone who needs a new perspective on life, love, & success. ...
